Are you looking to keep your memory foam pillow fresh and supportive? Discover the secrets to maintaining your pillow's comfort and hygiene with our guide on how to wash a memory foam pillow. Learn why traditional washing methods may not be suitable and find out the correct steps to clean your pillow without damaging its unique viscoelastic properties.
Memory foam pillow, is a type of pillow made of slow rebound material. They are usually made of polyurethane material and have viscoelastic properties. When the position of the head or neck changes, the memory foam pillow will automatically deform to adapt, maintaining a tight fit with the neck, thereby fixing the head and preventing it from slipping and causing the pillow to fall.
In general, memory pillows do not need to be washed with water. If there is a clear label on the pillow that cannot be cleaned, it should be avoided from washing to prevent damage to its material properties.
Remove the pillowcase: If the pillow is fitted with a cover, it should be removed first. Most memory foam pillows are equipped with additional zipper sleeves that can be washed separately from the pillow body.
Fill a bucket of water: For material sensitive memory foam pillows, the washing process of the washing machine may be too rough. Therefore, it is recommended to wash by hand and use a bucket or sink to hold an appropriate amount of warm water.
Adding detergent: Add a tablespoon of laundry detergent to water, gently stir with your hands to make the detergent fully foam and mix well.
Cleaning the pillow: Immerse the pillow in water, gently flip and squeeze it with your hands to help the detergent penetrate and remove dirt.
Dry pillows: Avoid using dryers because high temperatures can damage memory foam. Lay the pillow flat on a clean white towel and place it in a dry and ventilated place to air dry naturally. If possible, dry it in the sun.
Use a bowl of warm water and add 1 tablespoon of mild laundry detergent.
Stir the water until foam is formed, and then use a clean cloth to wring it dry.
If the pillow has an odor, it may be caused by the oil, cosmetics, or hair dye products on the skin or hair during sleep, or even stains.
Gently wipe the stains on the pillow with a damp cloth until they are removed.
Place the pillow in a cool indoor area, avoid direct sunlight, and air dry for 24 hours. Before reusing, make sure the pillow is completely dry.
Memory pillows have good breathability and moisture absorption. In order to maintain product hygiene, regular ventilation and drying should be carried out. Use a vacuum cleaner to clean the dust on the pillow core around every month, or gently tap the pillow core with your hand to remove the dust. If accidentally getting wet, immediately use a towel to absorb moisture and place it in a ventilated area to dry in the shade.
